Whether you’re fly fishing in the tranquil River Shannon, casting for trout in the serene Lough Derg, or seeking a catch off the coast of Kinsale, Ireland offers a wide variety of fishing experiences that are second to none.

Or – maybe it’s because Ireland has over 3,100 rivers on the island, and more than 70,000 kilometers of waterways, when tributary streams and canals are included. Then there’s the loughs – or – lakes,12,000 of them. The River Shannon alone forms 8 lakes along its way into the Atlantic Ocean, with three of those lakes being large, major ones. Ireland has loughs! So obviously there are innumerable possibilities for “Outdoor Recreation” in Ireland – especially boating and fishing. With a perfect mix of freshwater and saltwater options,…….. And as for the “abundant fishing waters” – Ireland’s waters are home to a dozen species of trout, including: speckled brown trout, sea trout, and rainbow.

Types of Game Fish in Ireland
The waters of the North Atlantic Drift lap the south and west coasts of Ireland giving it a milder climate than geographical location would indicate. The result is a fabulous mixture of cold and warm water fish species, capable of exciting the specialist or casual angler on any vacation.
In fresh water, species range from pike, trout, perch and bream, to salmon.
Salt water game fish include sole and flounder, sea bass, ling cod, wrasse, and North Atlantic Salmon. Some Irish waters have seldom, if ever, seen a rod and line, but exploration is always an enjoyable part of any fishing holiday.
So “have a go,” it might well result in the fish – or fish tale – of a lifetime! It will certainly result in a fishing experience of a lifetime.
